Old custom Buick

I don't remember the year of this car and who made it, but it is a resin car and its custom.  I did a fade paint  job with Gold and British Green.

Thanks, but I doubt that I'm better.  I just experimented and I still experiment with different ways to spray paint.  The body isn't a very good casting.  The skirts on the rear fenders are not in the same spot on the car.  But, you can't see both sides at the same time, so I didn't do anything about that issue.

That is a really slick paint job. Nice!

Thanks Steve. This was an experiment that turned out not to bad. I used Testors paints (enamels) and thin it with 1:1 enamel reducer. This way the paint dries almost like lacquer (fast that is). Testors thinner takes a lot longer to dry so I use the real stuff. What I use is Montana brand medium dry reducer.

Love Customs and yours is awesome! Wish the Forum had a " CUSTOMS " category, hint, hint.....

Customs will have to post here in the "Other Models" section, I'm afraid. Remember, this IS a drag racing forum. Not a lot of "Customs" fit the mold of a drag racing car.

All is good. I'm glad that we have a place fer these kinds of builds. I like building all kinds of different models, from stock to anything else including planes.

And that's exactly why I made the decision to keep the "Other Models" board. I too will eventually build some kits that just won't have a place in the Drag Racing category.
